Speaking only for U.S. Copyright Law, the owner has the right to regulate both replication (copy right) AND use (performance right; e.g. invocation of software). These rights can be bundled and if desired, sold, in any combination the owner wants. So its not copyright law that "gives" this permission, but GPL. _______________________________________________ Classpath mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/classpath
